November 22 to 24:I take a trip to Ishikawa Pref. with my friends, 5 ex-coworkers.On only the second day, we had a rental car and extended our trip from Kanazawa in Ishikawa Pref. to Shirakawagou in Gifu Pref.

Through the three days, I felt anew it was difficult to shoot when I want, walking with friends who didn't photograph, but I had a wonderful time with them talking and laughing all the time.I think I sometimes need to stand face to face with friends without a camera.It's important to look and focus on the things in front of me directly not through the lenz at times.

Coyote is one of my favorite magazines with good text on good paper.This current issue is about adventure.

A adventurer and photographer, NaokiIshikawa writes about the camera he lost during his adventure in a hot-air balloon in 2004.He and the captain failed the project to across the Pacific and were eventually saved by a cargo ship off the coast of Miyagi Prefecture after emergent landing on water.Then, four years later, the cameras and other staff he lost were surprisingly discovered in a coast.In the article, you can enjoy the story from discovery of them to approaches to develop the film inside the cameras.It's interesting to read through.
